Winter Walk in Brookville, NY

Lots of beautiful scenery along Hunt Road in Brookville, Long Island NY. The owner was very obliging as we captured images of several horses in colorful blankets being led back to the stables. This is a 25 X 19" (approx) soft pastel on sanded paper done from one of the photos...begun shortly after my last entry...and completed after a long bout with bronchitis. It's been a long, cold, strange winter; but the spring holds much promise. Thank you for stopping by.

Lynn, it's very nicely done. Good job.
Please, if you're fighting bronchitis, be careful with pastel and wear a respirator of some sort. The particles can irritate sensitive lungs (I know from experience.) And you probably know, don't ever blow the dust away indoors. Bad for asthmatics, too.

I love the way both the horse and the guy seem to be sharing the same attitud!

Yes...and of course, I am asthmatic too (since a child). Add to that the fact that we live over a chainsmoker! Not good. Thanks for all your comments! Great observation marancat.
